I think your overstating the importance of these games to the sucess of Hardcore titles on the Wii.
If they both sold excellently then yes , that probably would be encouraging but you won't see 2X - 3X increase in the rate of harcore title release . If they both sold poorly it would be somewhat discouraging to the average developer but I still couldn't forsee a decline in the rate of hardcore titles being released for the Wii.
As the recession deepens and the Wii userbase continues to grow the console will increasingly be seen as a viable option , developers will have to take the same risks on the Wii that they do with high budget PS3/360 games.
